Actor-comedian Eddie Izzard (Hannibal, The Riches) will co-star in the upcoming Playstation Network TV series Powers, based on the comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming.

Izzard will play Wolfe, an evil Power who, prior to his imprisonment, served as a mentor to Christian Walker. Walker is himself a former Power who joined the police force when he lost his special abilities.

According to Deadline, Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones, Edge of Tomorrow) and Olesya Rulin (High School Musical, Greek) have also joined the cast. Taylor will play Johnny Royalle, a “criminal mastermind Power with the ability to pop in and out of locations at will.” Rulin will play Calista, described as “a teenage Power wannabe with street smarts, attitude and vulnerability who is always seeking out her next move.”

The main cast is nearly complete after last month’s news of the casting of Susan Heyward as Walker’s partner, Detective Pilgrim. Still no word on who will play Walker himself.
